Children's Zone

Children at St. Werburgh’s have lots of responsibility for looking after their school and they fulfil these roles very well! For many of these positions, children are elected by their classmates / teammates or even by the whole school.

We are proud to announce that the following pupils have been elected for 2018-19.

Congratulations to all candidates for a wonderful election campaign which showcased democracy at its very, very best!

The Worship Council aims to allow pupils the chance to take charge of their own faith and worship, both within and outside of school.

Student-led, the Worship Council helps to create and run services for the local community as well as our school family.

It is our mission to represent the beliefs held by our school and express them in a respectful, thoughtful and engaging manner; showing that through our worship we 'Love to learn, love God, love one another'.

The School Council at St. Werburgh's C.E. (A) Primary acts as the pupil voice across the school.

The councillors are chosen every year by their peers in a democratic vote to act as representatives for their class. They are active in fundraising activities; raising awareness and money for charities like 'Children In Need' and The Poppy Appeal. They have also been key in raising awareness for issues important to their peers e.g. road safety.

Last year they helped deliver several sessions during ‘Mental Health Week’ aimed at improving children’s mood and supporting them with their emotions for example; Mindfulness and Yoga sessions. As well as supporting senior leaders in recruiting new staff and making other important decisions about the running of their school, they also act as representatives at important local events e.g. the remembrance service at the cenotaph and Commonwealth celebrations in the local town.

Eco CouncilThe Eco Council of St. Werburgh’s began in 2017-18 and is made-up of pupils from each year group, elected by their classmates.

Children in all classes from Year 1 upwards are given the opportunity to nominate themselves to become an Eco Council Member and a class vote allows the children to then select two children (more for Year 6) from each year group to represent them for the school year.

The role of the Eco Council is to empower children to learn about the school, local and global environments and to think about ways to protect these. Regular meetings are held and the members then cascade their suggestions to the rest of the school family.

Our school library has a selection of books both fiction and non-fiction together with magazines which the children are allowed to loan on a weekly basis to read either at home or in school.

The library operates on a Wednesday and all children from Year 1 to Year 6 are given the opportunity to visit. Our wonderful team of Year 5 librarians are on hand to support the children during their visit and help them choose a suitable book.
